This robot was inspired by spider movements

Taking arachnophobia to a whole new level. The BionicWheelBot: A robot inspired by the Moroccan flic-flac spider that combines the agility of a spider’s movements with the ability to transform and roll. With its eight legs and 15 small motors, the robot can walk, roll, and even perform somersaults. Using automatic-locking worm gear units for energy conservation, the BionicWheelBot can overcome uphill inclines and maintain its position and speed with the help of an inertial sensor.
